"Unashamed Desire" by Missy Higgins

New Single from Missy Higgins' new album, The Ol' Razzle Dazzle - "Unashamed Desire"

I've been playing this song on a loop lately. The lyrics captivates me, like a declaration of authenticity - I am real, I will not be ashamed of my desires. I am not afraid to love. I yearn for this proud honesty about certain aspects of my own life.

Empty all my pockets and take what you likeEmpty all my pockets if you likeI've got nothing to hide Empty all my pockets and take what you likeEmpty all my pockets if you likeI've got nothing to hide

My unashamed desireis an open fireUnashamed desire

Open up my chest and take what you likeOpen up my chest if you likeI've got nothing to hide Cut open my heart and turn on the lightCut open my heartache if you likeI've got nothing to hide

My unashamed desireis an open fireUnashamed desire And I'm not afraid to loveNot afraid to loveUnashamed desire

We get one sweet moment in the arms of youthI don't wanna waste time holding down the truthI've got everything to win and only pain to loseThis is myUnashamed desireUnashamed desireUnashamed desireUnashamed desireAnd I'm not afraid to loveNot afraid to loveUnashamed desire…
